MD community solar subscriber bonds.
Flat 3%. Enter your amount.
A subscriber organization in Maryland's community solar program (CSEGS) files a surety bond with the Public Service Commission. The amount scales with the capacity you operate — and we issue it at a flat 3%. A soft credit pull may apply on larger amounts; it affects approval, never the price.

What the subscriber organization bond covers
Maryland's Community Solar Energy Generating Systems (CSEGS) program lets households and businesses subscribe to a share of a local solar project and receive credit on their utility bills. A subscriber organization markets, enrolls, and manages those subscriptions, and registers with the Public Service Commission to do so.
The bond runs to the PSC and protects subscribers and the program against a subscriber organization that fails to follow program rules, mishandles subscriber money, or abandons its obligations. It is a compliance and consumer-protection guarantee, not insurance for the organization.
The amount scales with the capacity you operate — under the program rules it has generally been set at $25,000 per megawatt of capacity above the first megawatt. The program began as a pilot and has since been continued; confirm your current required amount with the PSC, enter it here, and we issue at a flat 3%.
